Writing this AAR has been a big stretch for me and I am always open to suggestions. I am really struggling when a session is dialog heavy so any advice out there from more experienced writers would be appreciated. Figured I would start a separate thread for feedback/comments to keep the AAR from getting cluttered. I used to really enjoy creative writing but for some reason got away from it, and I am starting to realize I need to try and broaden my horizons a bit and to take up some hobbies.

Looks like you more or less said what we said during The Prepotency's visit and added your spin to it all. I have no complaints on how it reads if that's your worry. I say keep doing it - it's a great way to remind us all what happened during our last adventures.

I've really been enjoying the AARs, Arkon. They're fun to read and I think you're doing a great job recapping the game. I've even shown them to some folks who aren't playing and they like 'em, too! Thank you for taking the time to write them.

Can five murderous vagabonds heroes save their world from a roman empire knockoff the forces of evil? Apparently so! Find out how they did it in the only best D&D game in General Analog Gaming!

Ok, this slime shark encounter is a bitch to write up! I am not even sure how to write all of the epic missing we did.

Yeah, it's not exactly describing 'we whiff, we whiff some more' in a descriptive sense. Maybe speed up or skip a few rounds of which we did little to nothing?

And that was just perfect.

Ok, started back up on my AAR, took me a while to get through the RP session we had at the camp on deciding what to do after we found the prepotency had taken over our summer camp location. Looking for some suggestions on formatting...the text is running together, started using italics for the dialog, but it isn't standing out like I had hoped...
